Guild Wars 2

I don’t usually pug this dungeon, but when I do the groups seem to not know how they want to approach this fight. So I’m asking you all: What is the general pug strategy?

I personally prefer just running in and fighting. Stacking almost always results in failure (people want to stack even if there is no reflect and I thought that went out with FGS meta anyway). The third strategy I’ve seen is to pull the quaggans back to the water.

I dont know for what you need Reflects at this boss???

Another Strategy is to freeze the boss and if you have mesmer or guard to pull them together. then you dps with icebows and meteor. To prevent quaggans to moove away from aoe you can place chillfield as elementalist.

I don’t know, either. I’m just trying to figure out what kills everybody and why they stack and fail… and how the majority expect this fight to go. I haven’t run this a lot, but I thought people brought reflects for the boss’s icy breath. It’s possible that pug groups just aren’t bringing enough DPS to stack. Judging by the number of views vs responses, it doesn’t seem like a lot of others know either.

You cant reflect anything at this boss afaik. The reason why some pugs may place their a Wall of Reflection is the same reason why they place one at Arah p3 Endboss, Pure inexperience. You want to kill the Quaggans first in this boosfight. The easiest way in my eyes to do that is to group all 3champions and killthem with Icebows + Meteorshower.

Another way for an low Dps group is to pull quaggans out and kill them first..

This Path is indeed obe of thoose who gets only runned rarely like se p2 for example.

The most effective way is to stealth at first, then freeze the boss out of stealth and right after that pull the 2 quaggans to the boss with binding blades or mesmer focus. Then the ele should use his chillfield so that the quaggans dont run away. Bring Stability because the quaggans knock down. In a high dps team at least the 2 quaggans will be dead or almost dead after a few seconds of burst.
However, i wouldn’t expect this from a pug.

Isnt that exactly what i suggested already?

If the extra “o” in “moove” was intentional, I salute you.
